Abstract

A number of fuze systems have multiple
detonators. Many modern systems are manufactured by connecting a
number of detonators taken from a single lot to a cable with a
combination series and parallel circuit. Experience has shown
that the amount of energy required to function such a combination
is not always the product of the number of detonators times the
energy for a single detonator. The ramifications of these test
results on the design of multipoint systems will be discussed.
